    I don't really get it? Even if he is traded why would he unfollow the Blazers? I'm thinking people think way too far into this stuff? Maybe he's just tired of his feed being full of trade stuff? I would guess if you release an album you would want as many people as possible to see the news of it being released?
    To me unfollowing a Blazers site might be for a number of reasons. You cannot tell me that when he plays for a different team he won't pay attention to what the Blazers are doing. People are not built that way.
    I personally think he was done a month ago. I don't think that this is a big deal? Just something that clears his feed a bit?

    ...speaking of the new album release, maybe just a ploy to get that attention you refer to :dunno: If everyone is clicking over to his IG to verify this, then more people see the nonstop album publicity he is actively promoting...win-win!!

    Why would we trade Dame for pennies on the dollar?
    We may not get exactly what we thinks he's worth but we should obtain decent value. I think we as franchise were fortunate to have a HOF player for as long as we did, wished it could have been a few more years of his super star talent.

    My family around the world wouldn’t have been introduced to my new little niece last week if it weren’t for social media. Depends on what you choose to use it for.

    old school folks would make a phone call and send a postcard...but they'd still be introduced..just not INSTANTLY! Congrats on the new addition bro! Looks like the little girl slept through the celebration!

    The likes agreed with the satire. They did not indicate a belief that Hagan is Dame's replacement. Or maybe I misunderstood your post.

    You did. I was strictly pointing out how no one would remember Hagan and it'd make it even funnier.

    I’m OldSchool and have harnessed the tools and technology so I don’t have to do all that bullshit. Within seconds the whole family saw and shared the experience. Don’t understand that fear and hatred of social media. Just don’t get it at all.

    He would have to unfollow everything and quit social media altogether, make sure he's never around a TV to get away from trade talk. Like c'mon now, be real lol

    @riverman still wants to send a post card to every member of his extended family so they can see their new niece/grandchild/cousin/etc. People who decide to go without very useful tech because of the way others misuse it are ridiculous.

    I send digital postcards and text photos with my cell phone. My old school joke never mentioned how I use technology. Just the idea that without instagram people all over the world are banned from access is a bit over the top. My mother wrote postcards and called me all her life until she passed. She was pretty far from being what you call “ridiculous”

    The trailblazers IG account isn’t posting a bunch of “trade stuff.” It’s just official blazers stuff.

    I been tired of Dame for awhile and because I think he as been tired playing for blazers for awhile. Yes he getting his numbers but it's started to not translate to wins.
